Fun fact: Wildfire smoke in the Northeast has occurred from time to time for centuries. In fact, the founders of this nation wrote of the "dark day" in 1780 resulting from wildfire smoke.
The "Great Smoke Pall" of 1950...

Good morning from a frosted over Oak Hill. The course and practice facilities are closed. Gates will not open until the frost clears. Tee times for the first round of the PGA Championship will be delayed until at least 1 hour and 15 minutes after practice facilities open. @WGRZ
